The Cowboys released their 2012 pre-season schedule, and it kicks off on MNF in Oakland, this will work out great since the Cowboys are expected to practice in Oxnard this year. Aug., 13 @ Oakland, 7 p.m. (MNF) Aug. 18, @ San Diego, 8 p.m. Aug. 25, vs. St. Louis, 7 p.m. Aug. 29, vs. Miami, 7:30 p.m. The Cowboys also announced their rookie free agent signings (Star-Telegram), who

With the draft in the bag, there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel, and the roster has turned a corner for the best. Coach Garrett has methodically jettisoned players that do not fit his philosophy, and is plugging-in his type of players. Drafting Morris Claiborne was a major statement pick, and set everyone on the team on notice, the Cowboys have no problems upgrading

In the 7th round, and with their final pick to wrap up their draft, the Cowboys drafted Montana LB Caleb McSurdy 6’1” 245lbs. Big Sky Conference defensive player of the year. McSurdy will compete for a special teams position and ILB depth. Share

In the 6th round, the Cowboys drafted Oklahoma TE James Hannah 6’2” 252lbs. The Cowboys had some depth needs at tight end after letting 2nd round bust Bennett walk. We’ll see Hannah compete and add depth with John Phillips. More Bio Here Share

In the 5th round, the Cowboys draft WR Danny Coale, Virginia Tech 6’0” 200lbs. The Cowboys were looking at adding a receiver in the later rounds and they got their guy. Coale had a productive career for the Hokies, and has always been a guy that knows how to run routes and with good hands. Coale made some noise at the NFL combine by having a great outing, read about

The Cowboys used their other 4th round pick (compensatory) on Eastern Washington University safety, Matt Johnson 6’2” 220lbs.  Suffered a torn biceps tendon his Sr. year. He’ll play special teams and compete at safety. Official Bio Share

In the 4th round the Cowboys drag Wake Forest LB, Kyle Wilber 6’4” 250lbs. This pick screams Spencer’s replacement. Depth at OLB was a draft need, and now its been addressed. So, far the Cowboys have methodically been all defense in this draft, and I doubt we’re done! The Cowboys have another 4th round pick (compensatory) that will close out the 4th round. Share

The Cowboys have (5) picks today, but will they be making trades here to pick up a few more picks? The Cowboys have gone heavy on defense with their first two picks, and rightfully so, but don’t be surprised to see a couple of more defensive players drafted. The Cowboys had quite a few defensive backs interviewed and worked out leading up-to the draft, so I can see the Cowboys

With their 3rd round pick, the Cowboys drafted DE Tyrone Crawford, Boise State. 6’4” 275lbs. 5-technique with a motor. This a good pick, reminds me of Hatcher a few years ago, instant upgrade over Spears. Good pick Dallas! Watching the war room, everyone is excited about this pick. Go Cowboys!! Share

Reports are coming out that the Cowboys are actively planning a move that will garner them a 2nd round pick for tonight’s draft. The Cowboys obviously are trying to recoup a pick since they gave their’s up to move up for Claiborne. PFT is reporting that the Cowboys are actively shopping CB Mike Jenkins. I think this is a good idea, we still have Scandrick who has been

The Cowboys made a huge trade, moving up to #6 from #14 overall and drafted Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU. Wow, that’s a hell of a pick, no one saw this one coming. Instant shutdown corner, paired up with Brandon Carr, the secondary is taking serious upgrades right before our eyes. Yesterday Jerry had said they practiced the exercise to trade up a lot, and it paid off this evening. The

We’re on the eve of the draft and the rumors continue to shift and change by the minute. The latest has the Cowboys looking at Michael Brockers as the pick the whole time. Hopefully this is off base. Brockers is another Marcus Spears and just another LSU player that will probably fall under the same average play as previous guys like Glenn Dorsey, Tyson Jackson, and Marcus
